Power Specifications - Subwoofer Channel

RMS Power @ 4 ohms

The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far. If the final impedance of your speaker(s) or subwoofer(s) equals 4 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound. The 5th channel on these particular amplifiers are usually dedicated for driving subwoofers.

563 watts x 1 channels

RMS Power @ 2 ohms

The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far. If the final impedance of your speaker(s) or subwoofer(s) equals 2 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound. The 5th channel on these particular amplifiers are usually dedicated for driving subwoofers.

Amplifier Specifications

Amplifier Series

This designates the series of the amplifier. Many amps are available in a litany of different wattage and channel configurations, but maintain consistent features throughout the product line.

Anarchy (Planet Audio)

Amplifier Class

An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.

Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is “off”. These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.

Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned “on” or “off”. This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.

Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.

AB

Number of Channels

Each channel on an amplifier will power one speaker using a positive and negative cable. There are various types of amplifiers, each designed to power a certain number of speakers. Monoblock amplifiers, also known as single channel, are designed to power one or more subwoofers. These amplifiers often have very high power ratings. On the other hand, multi-channel amplifiers power multiple speakers, usually at lower power ratings. 2-Channel and 4-Channel amplifiers can power car speakers or low powered subwoofers. Occasionally you might see a 5 or 6-channel amplifier that can power speakers and subwoofers at the same time. The most common setup is a monoblock amp to run subwoofers and a 4-channel amp to run door speakers. Check out our Knowledge Base for more information.

1 - Mono

Total Peak Power Output

The total peak power output is measured as the wattage per channel multiplied by the number of channels, and is calculated at the lowest level of operating impedance.

It is measured during a brief musical burst, such as a sudden drum accent. Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal.

The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.

1500 watts

Total RMS Power Output

Total RMS power is measured by multiplying RMS power per channel by the number of channels, and is calculated at the lowest level of operating impedance.

RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.

The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.

1100 watts

Maximum Input Gauge Size

This is the largest gauge wire that will fit into the power and ground terminals of this device. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. For example, a 4 gauge wire is thicker than an 8 gauge wire and thus has higher current carrying capacity. Always do your best to get this size wire to reduce the risk of damage to your components.

4 AWG

Minimum Impedance Unbridged

The lowest impedance the amplifier will handle when it is not bridged.

2 ohms

Minimum Impedance Bridged

The lowest impedance the amplifier will handle when it is bridged.

Not Bridgeable

THD at Rated RMS Power

The amount of change in harmonic content of the signal as it is amplified. A lower figure indicates less change and a more accurate amp. THD below 0.10% is inaudible.

0.01%

Speaker Level Inputs

Speaker level inputs are commonly referred to as high-level inputs and vice versa. This input type allows you to get your audio signal directly from the speaker wire in your vehicle, instead of using RCA cables. The advantage of this is factory integration, as most stock radios do not have RCA outputs to run amplifiers.

Yes

Preamp Outputs

Many amplifiers are equipped with RCA preamp outputs which pass the original music signal from the source to additional amplifiers. This is known as daisy chaining because the source connects to the first amp, and the first amp connects to the second amp, etc. The advantage to daisy chaining is you only need one 2-channel RCA cable to transfer the signal from the head-unit to the amplifier, and then one additional cable for each amp being daisy chained.

No

Built-in Crossover

A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.

When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.

Low-Pass (LP)

Low-Pass Crossover Frequency

The low-pass crossover frequency is typically used for subwoofers. It can be a fixed crossover point or a variable crossover range. A variable low-pass crossover allows you to select a specific crossover point which allows frequencies below the set crossover point to pass, while making frequencies above the set point gently or harshly roll-off, depending on the steepness of the slope.

The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.

45 - 90 Hz

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

This spec compares the strength of the signal to the level of background noise. A higher value indicates less background noise.

102 dB

Bass Boost

The objective of the bass boost is to get more kick out of your subwoofer. It is a circuit that emphasizes the lower frequencies at a given point. The bass boost should always be set first before setting the gain. This feature is known for destroying subwoofers and is commonly used incorrectly, so be cautious.

0 - 18 dB

Bass/Gain Remote

If the amp comes with a bass/gain remote you will be able to control the level of your bass from your dashboard. Typically bass remotes also include a 16-20 ft. wire for installation.

Yes

Fan Cooled

A great feature to have if an amp generates a large amount of heat. Cooling fans can help regulate the temperature to prevent the amp from overheating (burning).

No

Fuse Rating

The amperage and the number of fuse(s) an amp requires.

25A x 1

CEA-2006 Compliant

Amplifiers that have been tested to meet specific standards. When a car amplifier meets these standards, you can be sure that it will be able to produce the amount of power specified by the official CEA-2006 rating. Usually, these rating consist of the following items:

RMS Power

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.

No

Hi-Res Audio Compatible

This feature refers to if the product is capable of Hi-Res Audio (HRA) playback.

I bought this amp for a satellite subwoofer power source with a 12V - 30 Amp switching power supply and own 5 other Planet Audio Anarchy amps that are all working great and sound superb! Don't sate your time and money on other more expensive Amplifiers as I have but will never do it again! These are great for powering my NVX VCW series subwoofers and I will continue to buy more Planet Audio Amplifiers as needed from Sonic. AC600.2 x1, AC3000.1 x1, AC2600.2 x2, AC1500.1 x2. I have Only positive things to say about these amps their performance and value.

Looks and feels solid
but it puts out about 200watt rms at best
so dont expect the world for the price
For my $20 sub and 4cuft box tuned to 35hz
it hits pretty good.
but if i had high end stuff this aint the what you buy

Only had a small budget to purchase a sound system. I went with the Planet Audio AC1500.1M and paired it up the a couple Planet audio 12's all for $150. The Planet Audio is more than enough power for such a low price. Sounds Great!

I have in a 1983 Pontiac Grand Prix pushing my two Lanzar 12's with no prob. It makes my system sound very much like a high-end system you spent thousands on. I would reccomend it highly if you are looking for quality at a tight price......

I bought this amp second hand with an Alpine Type R 2 ohm. I ran the amp wired at 4 ohms for a bit because it does ride in my family vehicle. I just wasn't getting what I wanted out of the sub so I wired it to 1 ohm against what the manufacturer recommends. I have pushed the amp hard just to see if it would overheat. It has not given out on me one time. I now have a Kicker L5 15 hooked to it and I'm really impressed with the way it's holding up. I'm not concerned if it pops due to the price but I am really impressed with the way it has handled it like a champ. I'm about to add another 15 and really thinking about getting one of the bigger Anarchy amps.

By far the worst amp I have ever owned!!! A 500 Watt Memphis class D shatters the amp!!! I sold it to the first person who would give me my money back :/good thing the amp did not look half bad and it said 1500.1 on it should have said 150.1!! My 900.1 PB sounds three times louder at 2ohms and it's 1 ohm stable!!! I would only buy this amp if you were seriously on a very tight budget!!!

Was this review helpful to you?

I bought this amp just because of the price. It's output definitely isn't 1100W RMS, but it pushed a single 10 pretty hard. Sound quality wasn't bad, SPL was pretty good. Overall I have no complaints about this amp, especially since it was only $80.

I had this amp pushing a cvr 15' 4 ohm and it sounded amazing for about a month. it started getting really hot and it melted its own fuse and wont work anymore i still had the warranty so im exchanging it for a new one but as soon as i get the money im getting a kicker amp.

First off, it's called "the uglys book". Amps x volts =watts at 100 %efficiency ,which u know u can't get 100% ...30 amps x 16 volts=480 watts max .... I have two pioneer 12 inch champions wired to two ohms each.....clam shelled in a 3 cubic foot vent box,one 12 is wired out of phase so they can work together.....now also this box should not work if u do ur reading...I have 1 amp per twelve 2ohms each....6 fared 21 volt boost lanzar cap, bass enhancer mod, and still haven't hooked up my bass knobs from my amp, now box that shouldn't work,amps that shouldn't work.....ever have a car n front of u plug there ears because the bass line in the song "Lola" by the kinks is way to f-ing loud....priceless ...the wire kit is awesome but the fuse is a one time deal...

first of all its not pushing near what it calls,be lucky if its putting out 50 watts rms,i had it hooked to 2 10 inch mtx and it wouldn even start to make them perform before it started distorting,shoulda know bt price it was waste of time!

This amp can push some wattage I read many of the others reviews before buying this amp and I can personally say that who ever stated this amp is low watts or won't push was 100% wrong or doesn't have the amp speakers set up correctly. This amp is worth the money and will push a good sub hard

dont let the bad reviews stop you from ordering this amp! , for the price , its worth it! , i have 1 american bass XD12 hooked up to it , and it puts out , with a little bit of windshield flex , i play my music loud 80% of the time , and after about 30 min , i checked to see if the amp was getting hot , its wasnt even warm ! the rms rating is just about right. if your thinking about getting this amp , dont hesitate . for the price you cant beat it .

Got this amp for a house project. Hooked it up to a 600 watt power supply and an old car receiver and it does really good. It's playing through a 12" sub and a few bookshelf speakers. It bumps really good and can be felt through the entire house. It does get kind of hot after playing at max volume for an hour plus, but nothing to worry about. Overall an amazing amp, compact, and beautiful. If you need a cheap amp that will not disappoint get this.

Great value, as long as you understand your not getting a 1500 watt amp.
Take a zero off, maybe 150 probably more like a hundred watts. Even so when I was a teen, amps were a dollar a watt or more. I bought this for
a work van. I just wanted some bass to go with the factory speakers.
So l have this amp hooked to one subwoofer. It works so far.
But come on it's a swap meet amp.

This is a very nice amp for the price, I hook it up to two 10s and it some nice. I have a lot of people ask me where i got my stuff from and i give them the websites cause i buy all my item from here. I am working on a new project an cat wait to buy more item from you guys. Thanks for selling great products and keep up the good work. I am looking to get a sonic electronix decal for my car. once my car is complete.

This amp is good for the price but dont expect anywhere near 1100 watts rms.. thats just not happening. It provides enough power to my two 10's and can be run for hours at 2ohms without even getting hot.

I needed a single channel amp to push a 12" sub. I recently had an older punch 600 watt amp that needed to be replaced, but I didn't want to break the bank so I settled on this one. I'm glad I did it hits a lot harder and sounds very clean with my system. A great value for the money. Very pleased.

I bought this amp for my old school box that has 2 MTX ROAD THUNDER II's in it, ( yup, they still thump). This amp has worked flawlessly, small mounting footprint, nice performance, never has gone into protect mode. I have it in a 1999 Peterbuilt , and when I'm buying fuel at the truck stop, I can still hear the boom outside the cab with the doors closed. Excellent value, I will buy from Sonic again, and again!!!

I have this amp wired up to 2 Rockford Fosgate P3D2-12's. Wired at 2 ohms in a ported enclosure tuned to 40Hz. It may not push completely what the subs will take but it pushes them hard enough to knock pictures off the walls in my house when I am messing around with it in my garage. Honestly I don't know why people say the power is underrated. I haven't actually checked its actual output but it drives those subs hard. Very good bang for your buck.

I bought the planet audio ac1500.1m for a unique build of in home use car audio. the amp out performed my expectations by far. sound quality is amazing very easy to tune in and use sleek design gives a eye catching focal point. I highly recommend this product to boost your system and give it more attitude. I will defiantly buy another for my car.

amp is good for the price, its well worth it for the price also only puts about 200w rms dont expect too much. def. not for 12's but i would buy it again if i had smaller subwoofers. hasn't gave me any issues. if your in a budget its def. worth it but again w/small subs

This amp pushes my 10" Rockford Fosgate sub with no problems, with bass turned up and pushing at max for 2hours plus, doesn't over heat, the bass knob that comes with the unit uses a screw-in mount system... but I used double sided tape. works like a charm! for the price it was a great investment

surprisingly this small amp works great and pushes my 2 12 inch Memphis subs no problem. plenty of power and never have once blown a fuse in the amp. doesn't matter if i have my system bumping loud for an hour or more this amp just keeps right up with it, no overheating and going into protect mode. great amp for the money!

Own a few planet audio amps already and know their quality and abilities so it was a no brainer. Also own Hifonix Brutus X14 brand amp and I am NOT impressed but rather disappointed. Save your money buy Planet Audio for great sound, quality and value.

How come this says 1100W RMS @4Ohms before you click on on it, but when you click on it it says only 700W RMS @4Ohms? I almost just wasted $60.Unacceptable..

A shopper on Aug 5, 2015

Best Answer:It is saying that the amplifier can handle up to 1500 watts (not really). It says rms capability is 700 @ 4ohm and 1100 @ 2ohms, but in reality it can barley push 300 wat rms due to the fuse being only 25amp. Check the fuse rating that will give you a good idea on what the amplifier can push.

Honestly it's probably meaning where it say 2 ohms at 1100 watts but I v had this a,p hooked to my kenwood performance 12!and it blew it just becuase how powerful the amp is the amp you get is worth the money you pay for your not going to get a better amp for cheaper and I would say this amp could push a a type R 15 sub pretty good so what ever system you have I'm sure this will make it kick.

We apologize,it is obviously a typo. When you are shopping for a ultra economy amp these things happen. You should also understand low end amps tend to stretch there actual wattage. You would not be wasting money because you would receive what you pay for. Hope this helps in your future purchases.

Best Answer:I have this amp hooked up to 2 kicker comp 10s at 2 ohms and they hit good. I've been using this amp for over a year and it's never let me down in my daily driver. Would definitely recommend it. And it is new

Best Answer:The red light are and older model than the blie lights... if i were you id stay away from any of them there super over rated and get really hot fast there are older planet audio amp called big bang series those are really good but thats about all from planet audio thats worth buying
